Well heading south on interstate and I was speeding somewhat trying to meet up with a buddy of mine. Just as I get in the turn lane for the exit coming up and new white beemer flies up on my *** then jumps to my left and takes off. Well needless to say i got back on the interstate and gave chase. Up to about 120-130 he kept about 2 cars on me. Once we started going beyond that I started pulling him in. At about 145-ish i got side by side with him, then he just hit the brakes and dropped over 3 lanes and exited. Thats when I saw m6 on the back. Very sweet car, white w/red interior.

I only tried him because it beat a new m3 on the high end and a 461rwhp amg mercedes on the top end as well.

Oh well. Fun to get a run with the vette every now and then!

I looked up the car later to see its a 500hp v-10, but it only runs high 12's and weighs 3900+.

I didn't know they made an M6...only heard of M3 and M5s unless you were refering the the tranny which I doubt a beemer would say on the back...nevertheless good run

The M6 is the 2dr version of the M5, only a little quicker

Its stock as far as i am concerned. Has intake, cat back and for some reason guy bought shorty headers. I by no means won. But the car pulls really nice from 150-170. I think the other high end cars are limited there or not wanting to keep pushing. The AMG is the fasted i have ever been. The speedo said 173. We slowed back down and when i asked what model he had (all debadged except amg) i couldnt hear over exhaust, he pointed down and said "461 at wheels". After some research it seemed to be a c class amg with the DTM kit on it.

The M3 was 3 highway runs, kinda the same as the M6 but i reeled him back in quicker, probably 125 ish.

150-170.... What happened to 0-60 damn?

Deuuuce

He would have walked you once you're in 5th. I think he backed out.

Definitely backed out. I've seen videos of them doing 200+mph on the autobahn stock.

Just looked it up. Says top speed is 205

155mph electronically limited. 205mph is with the limiter removed, id guess most are stock. This is also probably why the vette caught back up around this speed...

i saw an M6 on the road one day...the damn thing sounded like a ferrari. Not a very deep tone exhaust, more of almost like a formula 1 kind of sound. Very nice cars.

the M6 is above M5 performance wise not just a bit quicker, good death

I'm not sure about this post...not clear about mods and the race. The stock C5 should be killed easily!!

well I think this is legitimate except for the "stock" part. Lets say its close to stock. My camaro with weight reduction weighs close to a stock c5. I ran 12.20 in the 1/4 on a lackluster launch and similar mods. Lets say the M6 runs better on the highway than the advertised high 12s stock, the OP's story doesn't sound too far off.....btw all our cars are "stock"

Actually the braking, et and even the traps are only 2-3 mph apart. Pretty close in my book. I'd take the M5 personally.
